All this talk about psychology makes me wonder how the future of social media will evolve. Will platforms adapt to ensure better mental health for users, or will the chase for engagement continue? And most importantly, how will Web3 social media change this? 🤔

This post is really insightful, especially the part about the brain reward system. It's kinda scary how much receiving likes can affect our brain, just like gambling or drugs 😬 (No I haven't tried gambling or drugs, I'm guessing lol)
On a different note, most of us notice the point about images with human faces getting more attention. Animals, coffee photos, landscape photos are just a transition to the main photo 😊
The dopamine rush is real! It's fascinating but also alarming at the same time. I've seen friends who seem addicted to that instant gratification of getting a like or comment 😬
Bringing up "Facebook Depression" was really important. I had a friend who took a break because of the constant pressure. We need more awareness around this 😔
"Digital Detox" concept mentioned is quite interesting but also hard to sustain. Has anyone here tried it?
It has its pros and cons 📷
